Computed tomography is very important for the timely diagnosis and prevention of various diseases.
Different parts of our body- the brain, the chest, the mediastinum, the heart, abdominal and pelvic organs, central or peripheral blood vessels arising from the aorta, upper and lower extremities can be fully examined using the computed tomography scan. Its role is significantly higher in studying the lungs, bony structures, the stomach, and intestines.
The clinic of the National Center of Surgery “New Life” is equipped with ultra-modern 160 slice computed tomography scanner - Toshiba Aquilion Lightning SP. Innovative features ensure that you can acquire high-quality images and the fastest scanning function.
What does 160 slice CT mean? What is its role? Compared to64 and 80 slice CT, 160 slice Aquilion Lightning SP requires less scanning time. The CT machine of our clinic scans more area of the body in one rotation, unlike its predecessors. This feature is very important for cardiac studies, for imaging one cardiac cycle!
It should be noted that decreased scanning time also decreases the amount of contrast material needed for imaging, it also decreases the artifacts created by the movement, because the study is conducted so fast, that the patient needs to hold a breath for a very short time – all these features positively affect the quality of the imaging and diagnostics.
When we talk about the CT scanning, the quality of visualization is a very important factor. Visualization is one of the factors that distinguish the CT scanner of the clinic "New Life" from other types of scanners. Lightning SP is equipped with wide KV (Kilo Volt) and MA (Milliampere) diapason, which is regulated manually by an operator and also automatically, using Sure Exposure mode. This mode automatically selects the right radiation intensity according to the individual needs of the patient – due to this feature, the study becomes more secure and safe for the patients.
The CT scanner of the clinic is equipped with 4th generation AIDR 3D reconstruction algorithm, which decreases the dose of radiation by 75%, processes the image with a new algorithm, increases the speed of processing. It is also important to note that this algorithm is automatically active in the study all protocols and the study process is simplified, proceeds faster and better, and, most importantly, it is safe for the patient
The CT scanner of the clinic “New Life” is equipped with a new PUREVISION detector, which increases its sensitivity by 40%. Using all these important functions allow us to get the highest quality image.
The computed tomography of the clinic "New Life" has the maximum clinical possibilities and one of them is the metal artifact removal mode. Toshiba Aquilion Lightning SP removes metal artifacts in spiral scanning mode.
The CT scanner of the clinic allows to identify and diagnose a lot of anomalies and pathologies at an early stage.
